Get deeper into Limen Leap Labs

We installed this forum system, so that those who are interested in us can get a lot of details. Everyone in the world is welcome to join this forum system. However, please note that registrations done here cannot be used for any of our other products and services. You will not be able to start new topics here but you can surely send in your replies to existing ones. This is not a support system, even though you can post some request for help as a reply to any of our posts. But we do not encourage that. The reason is: Each of our product/service has its own help system which you should use instead of this forum system.

Below this notice, you may see some of our latest posts in full. It would keep changing as per the posts we made here. The listing will keep changing over time. It can even become empty. Use the menu above and the sidebars here to go through all our posts.

  What does a laboratory do? How does the products here come into the market?
Posted by: admin - 08-02-2023, 07:58 PM - Forum: About all our products - No Replies

This is a question that is often asked by interested parties.  Yes, we agree it can be confusing. Usually, people expect an IT company to work on a specific product or service and market that to the world and make money. We are not such a conventional IT company. So what does a "laboratory" do?

Why we call ourselves a laboratory is that we happily experiment with grappling with problems. We do not wait for others to give us a custom software development project (we do that too, but in a very limited manner) Instead we work on several IT products and then we offer those products to others (Indians only) for them to start their own IT startups. 

So how does our products reach the market? 

We do not believe in vacuous, meaningless mentoring and lecturing about startups on the side to impress young startups*.  Instead we like to actually prove that our intellectual properties are really worth the salt. So all our products are actually available for sale too -- just like the way you would get products from IT companies. In that regard, you can look at us as a regular IT company selling products to others. However, in our case, all our products are made available to enterprising youths from India who can convince us that they can run a startup using each of those IT products.

That means, initially you may see a product of ours being sold by us -- but later on you may find the same product (either under the same brand or re-branded) being managed and sold by an entirely different company. At that point in time, our revenues are not directly from that product but we would get royalties from that company that is now managing our product.

*This is a core foundational principle of our company. We are a company that tackles wicked problems so that youngsters can jump-start their companies with the work we have done. We have given a deeper answer about the ills that we found in the startup system in India in a different post in this discussion forum. Look up that answer too.

  The why and what of our products
Posted by: admin - 08-02-2023, 07:47 PM - Forum: About all our products - No Replies

As we are a software laboratory; we work on different problems that affect the information technology world.  However, we do not claim that we have expertise in solving ALL the problems in the IT world. Let us explain the rationale on the kind of problems we take up, and the type of solution space we search to tackle those problems.

Problem selection

  • We mostly take up problems that affect the business world.
  • Of those problems, we are attracted to those problems that affect the business' usage of the Internet.

  • We lean towards those problems that have not yet been fully tackled by others -- or are poorly tackled by others.

  • As our founder is an architect, with a lot of experience in designing and finding solutions for the built-environment, many of our problem statements are motivated by the fact that the world is now integrating two different kind of "spaces" -- one is the spaces of the real built-environment and the other is "cyberspace" Many do not realize this: The entire world is at a cusp of a revolution where soon practically everyone will be living in both the kind of spaces. In fact it is already happening -- We visit a coffee and exist both in the coffee shop as well as inside a Facebook/Instagram/Twitter thread. it is high time that architects such as our founder contributes deeply into finding solutions for this unique living situation we are getting into. For far too long, bad architecture theories have been corrupting the real world spaces. And now the cyberspace is also getting corrupted by bad theories on the architecture of that space too!

Solution search space
  • Due to our founders competence in the world of architecture, several solutions from our laboratory use real-world architecture paradigms. Such as architecture floor plans forming the basis on which actual work gets done in our products.

  • For the same reason as above, several of our products and platforms are graphical in nature. We lean towards 2D and studiously avoid esoteric tech such as VR and AR -- the reasons for this avoidance are mentioned elsewhere in our website and this discussion forum.

  • Several products we develop are full blown "SaaS" (Software As A Service) that work in browsers. However, we also take up products whose solutions are offered by what we call as "Hybrid-SaaS" where part of the solution works on a regular computer (desktops/laptops) and the other part works on the Internet (sometimes using a browser based application) The reason for such "Hybrid-SaaS" is explained in more detail elsewhere in this forum

  • We are highly concerned about protecting our user's privacy. So we rarely make attempts to collect our user's email addresses; as we hardly send out any marketing information via email. (NOTE: We do collect email address for the purpose of sending out critical information) In some of our solutions, we have implemented an inward SMS (Text) messaging system to carry out registration and other useful activities.

    What is an "inward" SMS? That means, it is an SMS the user knowingly sends to a special number we manage in order to achieve some purpose with us. This is quite different from an SMS that gets pushed into your phone. We simply do not do that kind of pushing. That is just spam, according us (and many others). We do not like spam.

  • We have a "platform" first approach when developing a solution. That means, when we solve a problem, we do not solve a problem so that only a business gets its benefits. But we try to solve it in such a way that the solution itself becomes a "platform" where several allied problems can all be solved by some businesses catering to other businesses with some extra custom coding and/or configurations. That means, our solution itself becomes a revenue making system for some businesses.  That means you can look at us as a B-2-B-2-B kind of company. Not just a B-2-B one!

  Custom Software Development
Posted by: admin - 08-02-2023, 07:04 PM - Forum: Private Software Development - No Replies

We usually develop our own intellectual properties. However, depending on the intensity of a problem statement that people may have, we also take on specific custom software development projects.  We have developed private software for a shop display enterprise, an ayurvedic hospital ERP and a Travel Agency software. 

Do connect with us if you believe you need to solve a hard technical problem. We have expertise in over 12 computer languages; and a collective man-year experience of over forty years. We know deeply several important technical areas such as vector graphics, cryptography, databases, etc. So we have all the weaponry to drive a custom software project. 

If you already have a team of software developers, we can also render a "cto-on-hire" service for you. We have another post in this forum explaining that service.

  Career guidance and motivational workshop for final year students
Posted by: admin - 08-02-2023, 06:58 PM - Forum: Mentoring services - No Replies

Our founder; Sabu Francis, has been also a respected teacher. He has over 30+ years experience in teaching adolescents undergoing professional courses -- both architecture as well as in IT. For three years, he was the head of the IT department of a college in Pune, India (2009-2012) Several of his students have gone on to make notable progress in their respective fields.

One of the key problems when teaching adolescents who are in professional courses is that current syllabi often just talks about the "what" and not much about the "why" Also; the system is not conducive to tap into the highly charged-up brains of teenagers. Neuroscience tells us that the typical adolescent brain has over 30% more synapses than the working adult brain. If those synapses are not fully utilized, they are pruned away naturally. At the same time, these fresh brains are still developing the axion sheaths needed to improve the efficiency of the working of the brain. Without proper guidance, the decision making of these teens are rather slow. Sabu's vast experience and knowledge in teaching can be very useful to motivate students before they set out into the world and make them self-aware of the potential they hold. 

India has the largest corpus of youths in the world. It would be a crying shame if the intelligence of these fresh minds are not properly motivated and harnessed.

If you run an institution, and resonate with the above thoughts, and would want Sabu to conduct a talk for you; do let us know. This talk will have to be conducted physically in your premises for better connection.

  Critical thinking and Design Thinking Workshop (Webinar based)
Posted by: admin - 08-02-2023, 06:48 PM - Forum: Mentoring services - No Replies

Critical Thinking and Design Thinking have to be understood together. It is not possible to practice design thinking, if your critical thinking capabilities are not in order. Indian institutes typically do not have any intensive course on either of these topics. The result is that a lot of fresh graduates (and often even those who are into the field) make a lot of fallacious mistakes and cannot weed out their own cognitive biases during their work.

Such a state of affairs hampers productivity and efficiency of the person himself/herself. But it can also result in a lot more serious errors too:  Teamwork can be seriously hampered if one indulges in incorrect thinking and argumentation. In certain (hopefully rare) instances, it can even result in loss of life. For example; the deep-sea adventure diving that killed five people when visiting the shipwreck of Titanic has been attributed to lack of critical thinking on the part of the founder of that adventure company.   

Our founder, Sabu Francis, has given training on this topic at MIT(Pune) for their Business Innovation Program for several years.  A three week program was also conducted for the Hyderabad office of a US healthcare IT company in 2022.

If you are interested in conducting a training session on these two topics for your office/institution; do let us know. Either write a reply here or send us a private message after registering here. The workshop will only be conducted online; as per the available time-slots of our founder; Sabu Francis.

  How can you help us in other ways (other than financially)?
Posted by: admin - 08-01-2023, 10:41 PM - Forum: Investments and Aids - No Replies

We appreciate that you are looking into this question. The easiest way to help us which will not strain you is to tell your friends and relatives about Limen Leap Labs. We are sincerely trying to get as many startups going as we possibly can. Our system is simple to understand and possibly has the best chance for something nice to emerge in India

There are other ways also by which you can help: You know someone who you think can work for us? Let us know! You want to donate some graphic design or other artistic effort because you think it can help one of our products/services? Feel free to contact us! You have some physical space where you think we can conduct a seminar? Pleas do not hesitate.  You want some technical help for which you need our founder; Sabu Francis and can compensate him in some way? Please just ask!

We are sure you can think of even more ways to help us!
